INTRODUCTION

Ever increasing demand for ground water resources in hard rock regions of the State with limited renewal

potential poses a serious threat to ensure sustainable development of ground water for its judicious use

in various sectors. This precious resource needs to be managed judiciously to ensure adequate supplies

of dependable quantity and quality. It is a natural resource with economic, strategic and environmental

value, which is under stress both due to changing climatic and anthropogenic factors. Shortage of ground

water in hard rock areas is well known due to its limited areal extent in secondary porosity generally

developed due to weathering, fracturing, jointing, faulting, etc. within the hard rock formations which are

sparsely distributed.

Chhattisgarh after carved out from the State of Madhya Pradesh on 1st November, 2000 has taken

quantum leap in various developmental activities which fulfilled the long cherished aspirations of the local

populace. The State richly endowed with natural resources is also true in respect of its water availability

as almost 80% of the population is dependent on agriculture and allied activities for livelihood. It is

pertinent to mention that water being a catalyst for development of the State is never understated as

Chhattisgarh is known as rice bowl of India. The State experiences sub-tropical climate, characterized by

extreme summer and moderate winter having average rainfall of about 1300 mm.

As per the 2009 assessment, jointly done by the Water Resources Department, Govt. of Chhattisgarh

and Central Ground Water Board, Raipur, the annual replenishable ground water resource has been

estimated as 12.22 billion cubic meter (bcm), out of which 11.58 bcm is considered to be available for

development for various uses after keeping 0.64 bcm for natural discharge during non-monsoon period

for maintaining flows in springs, rivers and streams. Out of 146 blocks, 38 blocks have stage of

development within 30 to 50%, 25 blocks within 50 and 70%. Only 15 blocks have attained stages of

development more than 70%. Rests 68 blocks have stage of development within 30%. The State as a

whole has a stage of development of only 31.04%, 14 have been categorized as semi-critical from

ground water development point of view. Out of these 14 blocks, 7 fall in Durg, 3 in Dhamtari and one

each in Bilaspur, Kawardha, Raigarh and Rajnandgaon districts. Caution should be exercised while

planning ground water development in these blocks. Rest 132 blocks has been categorized as safe from

ground water development point of view.

It is not out of context to emphasize that Planning Commission has impressed upon for the need of

National Ground Water Management Programme which encompasses aquifer mapping & delineation;

recharge to ground water & well use efficiencies associated to aquifers; demand management of aquifers

through participatory approach; legislation of ground water; etc. for ensuring improved governance of

ground water. In view of this a comprehensive mapping of aquifers of Chhattisgarh State has been felt

essential and in this regard a baseline collation of existing data has been attempted for the preparation of

Aquifer Atlas of Chhattisgarh on 1:2,50,000 scale. The Aquifer maps would ultimately help to develop an

Aquifer Information and Management System (AIMS) for sustainable management of ground water

resources in the State. In the State of Chhattisgarh, twelve (12) principal aquifers have been identified

and reflected in the map which have subsequently further down-scaled and mapped to twenty three (23)

major aquifers and the standard national coding of aquifers have been adopted.

In order to initiate the preparation of the aquifer atlas of Chhattisgarh, the geological map of 1:2,50,000

scale (GSI) was used as base map for identification of lithounits which in turn helped in delineating the

principal aquifer systems in the State. Subsequently, these principal aquifers were further sub-divided

into major aquifers based on the surface and sub-surface data generated by the CGWB through its

ground water exploration programme. The base map of major aquifers in turn was utilized for generating

various thematic maps by superimposing the diverse aspects that are essential for preparation of aquifer

management plan. Thereafter, several maps were generated viz. basin, drainage, soil, geomorphology,

land use, exploratory wells, ground water monitoring observation wells, depth to water level (pre & post

monsoon), water level trend, area suitable for recharge & augmentation, area suitable for ground water

development, ground water development scenario, ground water quality. Collation of all these generated

maps were utilized for arriving at the aquifer management plan of the State and the same has been

depicted as management plan map.

In order to support all the maps prepared in the Aquifer Atlas of Chhattisgarh, necessary tables indicating

the data were prepared and is part of this atlas for better understating of the aquifers in different districts

of Chhattisgarh. Major aquifers in Chhattisgarh with principal aquifer code and major aquifer code along

with area covered has been synthesize in the table for preparation of aquifer atlas and unified

codification. Locations of areas affected by salinity, fluoride, nitrate and arsenic in different district of

Chhattisgarh and aquifer wise ground water management plan for the principal aquifers have also been

tabulated.
